Trump not trying to intervene in currency markets -Mnuchin

"I'm not going to go into the exact specifics of what those proposals are and where we stand on them, but, yes, if we can find an acceptable solution, that is our objective", Mnuchin said.

U.S. President Donald Trump fully supports the independence of the Federal Reserve and isn't trying to interfere in the foreign-exchange market, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters in Buenos Aires. "The president has made it very clear to me that he supports the Fed's independence".

The Treasury chief also repeated his longstanding view that dollar strength is in the USA interest long-term but that he does not comment on short-term dollar moves. His comments weren't meant to jeopardize the Fed's independence, the secretary added.

Mnuchin said he didn't think it was "a mistake" for the president to weigh in on the Fed's policy decisions, noting Trump's background as a real estate developer makes him aware of interest rates.

Mnuchin downplayed the notion that he is not holding a formal bilateral meeting with Chinese officials at the G20 meeting, despite an escalating tariff war between the world's two largest economies.

Mnuchin's comment was the latest indication the Trump administration was trying to aid sanctions-hit Rusal, which has taken a series of steps to try to appease the US government and get the restrictions lifted.
